*Disclaimer: If you intend to watch this movie, you might consider not reading this post!
Ever since I know this movie is releasing, I know I shall never missed this! How could one resist to watch Heath Ledger for the last time in cinema? Moreover, Johnny Depp and Jude Law were both playing a part as well. I can't resist, for sure.
My personal thoughts after watching the movie, I thought the show was very Buddhism. It was how a human deal with temptations and choices in life.
When the characters of the movie moved into the mirror, they're actually in Doctor Parnassus's mind. In this imaginative world, you will see the things you wanted the most. There will be two paths. One lead to temptations, one lead to reality. If you chose temptations, you'll die in Doctor Parnassus's mind, and hence, disappear from the real world, forever.
Doctor Parnassus himself had temptations too. Immortality and youth. That was why, he made deals with Devil. But the deal, was to give in any children he fathered to Devil when the child reached age of 16. When the little girl of Doctor Parnassus reached 16, that's when Doctor Parnassus worst nightmare came about. So deal after deal he made... Temptations and choices he had to face.
I thought, all the characters, Tony, Percy, Anton, the daughter, are reflections of Doctor Parnassus thoughts and temptations at different time. Because every human, at different time, we could act differently, having different characters and personality.
Percy was his angle every time he fell into Devil's trap, daughter was Love, Anton was heroic, Tony was trouble... The ending of the show, is all depends on Doctor Parnassus himself. Because he decided on which reflections to sacrifice, which reflections to stay.
I would like to watch this movie again, but not in the cinema anymore. It feels like The Matrix, you just have to watch 2nd time, to get a full picture of what the story wanted to tell you, in the hidden message.
Additional note:
I have never expected the transition of Heath Ledger to Johnny Depp could be so smooth. Wonderful!
